[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnie2012:
Hi their all im matt

what it is i have the samsung galaxy s3 i9300 i bought it from carphone warehouse a while back in london (uk obviously) on sim only, so it wasnt branded etc.

Anyway shortly after a while i wanted to root it as i heard about all the benefits etc, so i used the samsung toolkit 7.0 and it rooted fine

anyway for some reason i ened up unrooting it i cannot remember why but i did, and now my device status shows as MODIFIED, and the OTA updates does seem to work as it just says searching but does nothing, ( im guessing this is because i unrooted and the device status says modified)

but before i rooted in the first place i never wrote down what firmware was on the model ( obviously the stock rom but i dont know what rom it was seen as i bought it from carphone warehouse in the uk)

but i wish to root my mobile again but also have the stock rom what came with the actual phone installed.

the rom information on my mobile is :

andorid version: 4.1.2

Baseband version: i9300XXELKC

Kernal version: 3.0.31-742798 se.infra@SEP-111 #1 SMP PREEMPT SAT DEC 22 17:04:04 KST 2012

Build number JZO54K.I9300XXELKC

can anybody tell me if this is the stock rom that came on my phone when i bought it from carphone warehouse or did i do something wrong when i rooted it in the first place and its installed some other rom. as i just want the stock rom and be able to update as normal but be rooted and device status to be OFFICAL and not MODIFIED

hope somebody can help me with step-by-step instructions

thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengeance1990:
I've rooted and unrooted a few times, and yes because it says modified you are unable to update. The easiest way and the way i have previously done it was download

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488

and run the flash stock via Odin, this will download a stock firmware which it will then install. Follow the steps to the letter though.

Ive managed to update via kies previously and had an OTA update for it too.

The Uk unbranded firmware version is BTU, if it asks and i believe if you install XXELLA it will then update via kies.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnie2012:
Hi i used the samsung toolkit v7.0 like you said and ODIN loaded up and used the flash thingy but it does nothing to my mobile.

it still says

andorid version: 4.1.2

Baseband version: i9300XXELKC

Kernal version: 3.0.31-742798 se.infra@SEP-111 #1 SMP PREEMPT SAT DEC 22 17:04:04 KST 2012

Build number JZO54K.I9300XXELKC

in the about device.

so what firmware should be on my galaxy s3, if i bought it from carphone warehouse in uk should it be BTU or ELLA
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengeance1990:
BTU is the country code for the firmware. Basically a uk firmware has BTU on it. ELLA is the firmware version. I flashed that one and it was 06 on the selection screen from that toolkit. I managed to do firmware upgrade OTA successfully.

Now that odin has finished does it still say modified?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnie2012:
ok iv downloaded and flashed a rom im beliving is the correct one now it says

android version 4.1.2

baseband version i9300XXELLA

Kernal version 3.0.31-742798 se.infra@SEP-111 #1 SMP PREEMPT sat Dec 22 17:04:04 KST 2012

Build number - JZ054K.I09300XXELLA

under device status, it still says modified

i loaded up Kies and now it says, the firmware i have on my s3 is not supported to recieved updates through kies

i try OTA updates and it just loads nothing happens

before i downloaded this rom i have on now, i followed all your previous intructions and i flashed 06 form the selection but it doesnt do anything to my phone

what is happening i dont understand, thank you i appreciate your time helping me to get my mobile back to normal
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengeance1990:
Im at work till 9 but I'll try and run the flasher and set mine back to stock to see if I can run the update afterwards.

Like I said ive done it before so unless they have changed something in one of the updates to ELLA it shluld bw working. Ill post again once ive done it and let you know
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnie2012:
reset phone

right i heard about a csc changer and as you said before my samsung galaxy s3 should be on BTU, but it appears it wasnt, it looked like it was on XEO.

so i installed csc changer from the google play and it reset my mobile.

device status: says normal,

in download mode, everything is offical again.

but im not rooted

how do i get my mobile rooted without anything changing to custom again

not: i backed up all my apps via titanium
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengeance1990:
Im pretty sure rooting your device changes it back to modified as its flashes a new image.

Triangle away by chainfire can reset the flash counter so possibly give that a try.

If you enable expanded desktop mode (in the power menu) you should automatically get Pie controls. I don't know if there's a way you can have them while the softkeys are on but then again I don't see why you'd need them :P.

So, my phone is stuck on the google logo screen, with a padlock icon on bottom.

I'm attempting to flash firmware version 4.2, so I go into download mode, get it to recognize in Odin, and then a moment after i hit "start", Odin encounters and error and crashes.

I also tried using Nexus Tool Kit, but apparently the flashboot wasn't working correctly. any thoughts on how to fix this?

Is the padlock locked or unlocked? If it is locked you need to unlock the bootloader. You need to use fastboot command to do that.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigerman82:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Mini) with Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I recently bought iPad 4 (Wifi only) and decided to try to do some tethering with my phone. I entered the "Tethering and portable hotspots" submenu and paired up successfully with the iPad. However, I couldn't access the Internet with the iPad even though the connection to my S3 was okey. Everything just seemed to be loading and loading, and Chrome said something about DNS servers. I gave up and tried to Bluetooth-route. Again I was successful in connecting the two devices with the link symbol appearing in the upper left of the iPad's screen. Yet again the Internet did not work.

I should mention that I live in a country where there's no tethering regulation so I can just use the default tethering settings. I did think about if using Avast, power saving mode or anything other affected the tethering process, but after turning Avast and power saving mode off, nothing happened. I also double-checked that I could access Internet via my phone. I also double checked that I had my mobile data on.

There isn't any setting in S3's "Tethering and portable hotspots" submenu that I could try to change (I've tried tethering with and without a password). I can do something about hotspot Wifi-connection from the iPad (according to the manual):

However, I cannot do anything if I try to create a hotspot using Bluetooth.

I would appreciate help immensely!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengeance1990:
On the tethering section, and since you only doing it for an ipad, go to configure the access point and tap advanced settings. Try changing the broadcast channels from auto to 10.

I work on a technical support desk and it seems that Ipads are very very fussy on lower channels, i am unable to test this as i don't own an Ipad but it may be worth a shot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigerman82:
Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately it did not work. I also tried channels 4 and 11 instead of Auto without success.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigerman82:
I just wanted to let you guys know that I have solved the issue. The trick was to add my provider's internet information (server, port) to iPad's settings. This is weird as with my old phone, Samsung Bada, I just had to create a Wifi hotspot with a few clicks and that's it.

Hi Tigerman82.

Could you please be more precise regrading the solution you found : What configuration did you make in you iPad, which information, in which configuration menu ?

Thank you for your help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigerman82:
I first created the Wifi hotspot connection between SG3Mini and the iPad. In SG3Mini, I entered Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names (APNs) -> *chose my provider's Internet/Wap settings* -> wrote down Proxy, Port, (User Name, Password)

Then in iPad, I entered the Wifi-settings, Tapped the > next to the SG3Mini's Hotspot connection and added the APN info in the HTTP Proxy settings. I originally tried to use the User Name and Password but it didn't work so I just used Proxy and Port. Then I tapped the "Renew" option.

After this, I could tether without problems.

Where you plug your charger there is a small tab take a tooth pick, small knife , or something like that I used a small flathead from my phone kit and push the tab up about in the middle towards the led light (front of phone) no more than middle ways and that will give your phone a charge you most likely had a false charge like I did and other people from what u have heard

Please pull the battery before starting to bend! Put it back in and see if you can get anything. Maybe try a key combo to boot, like volume up+down+power.

You mean when you flashed a MA6 rom, correct? Did you check to see what background apps were running? Maybe even some sort of CPU monitor to see what and how much was being used?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Thank you for the response, and yes I did do that. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary. And it wasntva ROM really, it was the update OTA through stock recovery. It worked fine, just was noticeably warmer/hotter. I understand it may be a little hot or warm when and or right after the update, that it needs time to settle, but Even 12 hours later it was still really different temperature wise. Wasn't even play games or anything on the phone.

Hi guys,

I have problem with my X10i phone. In a row, I:

1. Installed stock rom from SEUS

2. Rooted device via flashtool

3. Unlocked bootloader via flashtool

4. Installed kernel (FeraKernel) via flashtool

5. Installed custom rom from CWM (Achotjan ROM)

6. AND then I've got an Wi-Fi issue, so I installed other kernel -> nAa 14. After that device won't boot AND I cannot:

- Flash it (in flashmode too)

- Boot

- Root/Shell Root (via SuperOneClick)

- Install stock soft via SEUS or PC Companion (repair in Companion won't do)

- Hard Reset by pressing keys (left, right and power)

- Unlock via ... Emma (Emma, right? From Sony) - It calls that I have blocked device

I can do nothing besides start in flashmode, which gives me nothing, cause I have problems flashing other kernel. Flashtool waits for device or gives me an RED COLOR Error: "SIN header verification error".

Can I do anything with this device or simply put it in a trash? :(

19/017/2012 03:17:46 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"

For me this was because I did not have an unlocked bootloader.

I spent at least a whole day trying to resolve the problem as months earlier I had an unlocked bootloader and everything worked.

For me I resolved the problem by unlocking the bootloader...'again'.

Have you run S1 Tool and verified that you have an unlocked bootloader at this time?

LOADER VERSION: "R4A024" means a locked bootloader. If it a lower-case "r" then you're fine and you have an unlocked bootloader.

If you get SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE at the end of the S1 Tool information output then at least there is still something readable in the boot image of your phone.

It is odd though, when I had a locked bootloader on my XPERIA X10i I was still able to install a SEUS firmware upgrade.

Information about unlocking a bootloader can be found here. Tutorial: Rooting, Bootloader Unlocking and Updating
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxxx23:
I have unlocked bootloader earlier, but maybe I have it locked again. How can I unlock bootloader without device connected (by turning it on)? I can only start it in flash mode, which doesn't allow me to unlock bootloader in flashtool. Also I cannot update firmware using SEUS :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keenofhiphop:
AW: X10i won't boot - I tried everything (YES! Everything!)

I just had the same or at least a similar problem (sunday it happened) and solved it by flashing the 1.6 rom and the 2.3.3 only kernel +baseband, first found in dev section, second in dixperia 7 thread and then updated via seus. It didn't work at first try but now i have the working stock rom and cannot root anymore. If you try this please tell us if you can root afterwards.

And try to boot 1.6 first - it is nice and i wanna know if it works for you. You can look in my profile to find the thread i created with details.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
And you've tried S1 Tool to see what it returns?

If you can't view the information results or the results indicate your XPERIA X10i is in a state that does not support an unlocked bootloader (due to corruption) then at least you have a documented state at which your phone can or can't operate.

If the XPERIA X10i can't load ANY firmware, then you'll have to start analyzing the low level boot code to find out what is corrupted and how bad it is. S1 Tool is an easy info display to a least be able to say, "OK I can get a return information display from S1 Tool" and I have posted the output so people can better understand the situation.

If you can not install firmware via Sony Ericsson Update Service(SEUS), PC Companion or Flashtool 'flashmode' using a generic GB 2.3.3 ftf.

Then you're limiting your options. You still have flashtool 'fastboot mode' BUT indications are that you HAVE to have an unlocked bootloader for it to work.

Have you tried flashing a 'STOCK' GB 2.3.3 ROM via flashtool flashmode?	[Completed]X10 Stock Firmware Collection

Have you placed the xxx.ftf file to be flashed in /flashtool/firmwares/ folder?

Does your XPERIA X10i have drivers installed on the PC so that the USB connection is established and recognized?
